Abstract

The present research aimed to understand how the herpesvirus associated with fibropapillomatosis affects sea turtles on the Brazilian coast. For this, an integrative review study was carried out, guided by the following guiding question: What is the scientific evidence on how the herpesvirus (ChHV-5) associated with fibropapillomatosis affects sea turtles on the Brazilian coast? . To search for articles in the literature, a search was carried out in the following databases: 1. Capes Journal Portal (CAPES) and 2. Science Direct. The following descriptors and their combinations in Portuguese and English were used to search for articles: fibropapillomatosis and green turtles; herpesvirus and fibropapillomatosis; fibropapillomatosis and sea turtles; fibropapillomatosis and Chelonia mydas; fibropapillomatosis and the Brazilian coast. Regarding the inclusion criteria defined for the selection of articles, these were: publications available in Portuguese, English and Spanish; availability of texts in full version; peer- reviewed journals; publication period between January 2017 and April 2022; search for scientific articles, excluding other types of work (theses, dissertations, books and reviews). As for the exclusion criteria, there were duplicate publications and those in which the object of study was not related to the topic addressed. From the definitions, criteria and combinations of keywords defined for the study, 161 publications were located. The final sample consisted of five articles. According to the results, it was possible to verify that all the different evaluations found in the present integrative review demonstrated the presence of the agent and the disease in green turtles in Brazil. Due to the complex life history of green turtles (Chelonia mydas), it is difficult to quantify the impact that fibropapillomatosis causes on the population of these individuals. However, the high frequency of carriers, the multifactorial character of fibropapillomatosis, human actions and economic activities in the region contribute both to the maintenance of ChHV-5 and to the development of the clinical form of the disease. Therefore, even with the difficulty of quantifying the impact of ChHV-5, the occurrence of an infectious agent negatively interferes in the Chelonia mydas population. Thus, future studies are needed to elucidate the intra and interpopulation effects of fibropapillomatosis among Chelonia mydas and the correlations with environmental factors and anthropic activities.
